don't raise your eye, it's only teenage wasteland.

So, I got home from paintball today (so much pain, haha) to see my bedroom light on. Being an insanely private teenage girl, I got worried.

My mother was sitting at my computer, typing out some crap for her work. This would have been all well and good (well, ignoring the fact that it's really strange to see anyone touching my computer) if it weren' ( Read more... )

ohhmigod. absolute worst thing ever. ohmygod awkward.

one time when i was in 7th grade, i found my dad at my computer reading my old livejournal. and that was back when i actually talked about my real life and feelings and stuff. he sent me to therapy aha.

casi_casi April 19 2009, 22:01:10 UTC

Haha yeah, that's what I was thinking as soon as I walked into my room, but I think it'll be okay. As long as it's never brought up, and she never tries to ask what I'm doing when I'm holed up in my room for hours on end...

Holy crap. He must have been hella disturbed by what you wrote! Although what worries me is the fact that your dad found your lj in the first place. Had he searched for it or something? How on earth would you just stumble across your daughter's lj?

HAHAHA i can't even imagine. i'd like. hahhahahahah ohmigod. hahahahhaha. i'm like sitting here giggling awkwardly cos i can't even imagine.

no, i was really stupid in 7th grade and just assumed he wouldn't go on my computer, so my LJ was my homepage. logged in and everything. so it was sort of my fault. it was BAD NEWS BEARS though because he read it and then he made my mom read it and then they talked to me about it and oh god cringe cringe cringe.

i wonder what my dad would do if he found slash. he's secretly sort of homophobic, too. haha can't even imagine.

LOL it's not that bad. At least, not yet. Granted, it has only been about 15 hours, but the signs are good. :)

Ohhhh. You see, I was really paranoid about people tracking down my lj, so I did this little experiment with Google and realised that it's actually quite easy to find it and all the slashy goodness it holds. So that's why I was all "omg it was that easy to find your lj?!"

it was BAD NEWS BEARS though
LOL.

Ahh I guess parents are more concerned when their kids are just entering teendom. They see all the horrific news stories about emo teenagers and they think "sad child = must intervene or deal with ugly consequences" so I suppose that's why your parents launched a massive let's-save-Greta campaign? (Oh, I'm Ish, btw. I took the liberty of stalking you via your userinfo.)

Oh gosh. I'm lucky that both my parents are really liberal. They'd just think that I'm (a) really bored, (b) wasting my time, and/or (c) sexually confused. I'm pretty sure my mother thinks I'm a lesbian anyway.

OMG!! That has to be so strange, I wonder what she is thinking?! That's why whenever I close my laptop it's password protected...oh man, does she look at you weird? How strict is your mother?

casi_casi April 19 2009, 22:02:57 UTC

Yeah, strange is definitely the right word. I need to password-protect my computer! Although I suppose if I did that now, it'd be blindingly obvious to my mother why I did it. :/

No, she isn't looking at me weirdly, thank god. She's pretty strict, and I'm worried that she's going to start dragging me away from the computer now that she knows that I'm writing and reading slash rather than studying, haha.

I'm so paranoid about my computer, I would have probably thrown a fit!

Maybe she didn't read it...?

casi_casi April 22 2009, 09:33:05 UTC

I'm desperately hoping that she didn't, but it seems unlikely. Fic was everywhere on my computer that day, open and hard to miss. And she's the type who reads smutty romance novels, so I'm thinking that she was probably tempted to read what I was reading/writing. *sighs*

txorakeriak April 20 2009, 16:56:13 UTC

OH GOD.

I... would have died. O_O

I mean, my Mum's English isn't that good, but I imagine your Mum's is, and... OMG.

Or is your biggest worry that she might have enjoyed reading the fics? :D

casi_casi April 22 2009, 09:34:37 UTC

I think a part of me did die that day. (LOL, melodramatic.) But she hasn't brought it up, which I'm very thankful for. I didn't think she would bring it up, as she's pretty savvy, but it's still so very awkward!

casi_casi April 28 2009, 07:15:49 UTC

No, she hasn't said a thing, thankfully! I just felt very ... exposed, that's all. ;)

even if there is only one tiny such scene in a two-hour movie, parents always manage to walk in while that is on
YES! The number of times that has happened to me! My dad must think that all I watch is sex; he always seems to walk in during a little ten-second scene and then there'll be nothing remotely close to it in the rest of the film.
